Are you a talented artist interested in using your art to start a conversation?
If your answer is yes, or if you have a creative mind and artistic skills (or a friend with either of the two), Buddy Media wants to reward you!
If you’ve seen our Power Your Connections™ ads in magazines, airports and all across the web, you know we’ve been working with amazing artists to highlight our mission: to re-invent the way brands communicate to their consumers in a connections-based world. Artwork from Steven Wilson, Matt Moore and Tatiana Plakhova has already appeared worldwide. Now, Buddy Media is looking for new artists to carry the campaign into 2012.
We’ve just announced our “Power Your Connections™ Illustrator Contest,” which asks artists to submit their illustrative interpretation of the art of connections in a social world.
There are plenty of reasons to submit your artwork, but here are just a few:
- The winner will receive $5,000.
- The winning artwork will appear in a global Buddy Media ad campaign.
- The winning artwork will be showcased at SXSW.
All entries are due January 31st, at which time Buddy Media will select five finalists. The public will then be able to vote and comment on their favorite artwork directly on the contest site, before our hand-selected panel of esteemed judges choose a winner.
The judges, who will select a winner by late February, include:
- Michael Lazerow, co-founder and CEO, Buddy Media
- Renny Maslow, award-winning commercial director who has worked with brands such as State Farm, Target and Nike
- Rishad Tobaccowala, overseer of innovation and reinvention efforts across all of VivaKi’s agency networks and former CEO of Publicis Groupe futures practice Denuo
- Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of www.IfWeRanTheWorld.com and two-time Advertising Woman of the Year
- Cary Brothers, indie singer-songwriter whose song “Blue Eyes’ was a part of the Grammy-winning “Garden State” soundtrack, and whose recently released album “Under Control” has received critical acclaim
This is your chance to illustrate the power of connections. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Enter into the Power Your Connections™ Illustrator Contest." Reminder: all entries are due January 31st, and a winner will be announced in late February.
